3-gatsu no Lion Recap

At 17, Rei Kiriyama already lives alone and competes as a professional shogi player, carrying expectations that leave him isolated even when he is surrounded by people. His days are divided between demanding matches, an uneasy school life, and memories he would rather keep at a distance.

A different kind of warmth waits across the river with the Kawamoto sisters, Akari, Hinata, and little Momo, whose home gradually becomes a refuge from Rei's solitude. Alongside friendships and rivalries at the shogi board, especially with the irrepressible Harunobu Nikaido, Rei begins confronting the loneliness he has learned to treat as normal.
